Walt's point is that Oswald's revolver was indeed a .38 Smith & Wesson.  Walt is mistakenly claiming that the killer was not using the same kind of revolver taken from Oswald at the theater.

 Even then his argument isn't valid. How could Dom know at a glance what type of revolver? Was Dom an expert on revolvers? Did Dom say it was a different type of revolver? Dom had just witnessed a policeman being murdered in front of him. I doubt he was really that concerned if it was a Smith&Wesson.

You're correct... and no, Benavides did not attempt to state the make and model used by the killer.

However, Walt believes that the weapon was not a .38 Special Smith & Wesson (like Oswald's was) based on the eyewitness testimony describing the manner in which the killer ejected the shells.

Walt is wrong, of course, but that is the argument he has made in the recent past.

That's correct...Several witnesses saw the killer removing spent shells from the revolver at various places in the vicinity of the murder..... Those witnessrs DESCRIBED    DESCRIBED a man removing spent shells from the revolver ONE SHELL AT A TIME.....  The S&W extracts all the shells at the same time......

The shells expanded after firing and had to be removed manually, one at a time.  I explained all of this to you and Prudhomme before the forum crashed.  You simply ignored it.
